Ok ill put it crayon.. Can I collect unemployment for failing to provide a doctors note since I have no insurance and cannot afford to see one without insurance?

Did you have eligible earnings last year in order to receive unemployment benefits because you wouldn't get them based on the earnings from THIS job, even if you were eligible.

There's no law that covers requiring a doctor's note after X amount of days. Every company is able to set their own policies.

Yes you can be let go. If you are let go, file for unemployment.

Yes I do have earnings from a previous job from last year..so failing to provide a note didn't disqualify me from receiving benefits?

It might, it might not. File no matter what.

Huh? What does

ill put it crayon

mean?

Are you feeling "ill"? Do you mean I'll or I will?

Is your intent to state "I will put in crayon"? or some other such nonsense? As opposed to just doing an edit?

Yes, you can be fired for being out sick from your job. It's a new one, and you just started less than a year ago, I'll bet, and you were out sick. If your employer wants to, they can fire you for this. It's an "at will" state. If your employer told you to go to the doctor,you probably should have taken this as a hint they want to see proof you were really sick. No one cares whether you can "afford" to go to the doctor or not in any of the ssituations, your employer OR the unemployment system.

IF you are fired, which it does not sound as if you are yet, sounds as though you are just checking to see what you can bluster about (I've checked the previous postings) but anyhow, if you are fired for this absence, and you file for unemployment insurance benefits, they will first do the claim to make sure you have wages from covered employers in the last 18 months sufficient to set up a claim for unemployment. If you do not, they don't care what happened to you, there's no unemployment insurance for you to draw.

Having established that you do have a claim, they'll take the statement about why you are out of work. If you were fired for an illness/health issue, they will give you a doctor's statement to submit, or ask for your medical excuse for the absence. If you were out sick, and you have no doctor's statement, it is much much much harder to prove you were out sick, too sick to work, but not sick enough to seek medical help. They do not care about your income or financial situations, so they will not consider whether or not you had enough money or insurance coverage to see the doctor. If you were too sick to go in to work, knowing that your absence might lead to your being fired, you should have been sick enough to need to see the doctor.

If you don't get fired this time, and your employer tells you they will fire you the next time, then if there is a next time, you get up off your bed of pain and go to the doctor, if you plan on missing work and would like to draw unemployment insurance when fired.

They could fire you because they don't like the color of your socks and it would perfectly legal.

Perhaps he can change the color of his socks with his crayon to suit his (former) employer.

After seeing the phrase "they can fire you over the color of your socks" repeated over and over again on this site, I now always carry my own Crayola box of 64. I am not taking any chances.

I believe that green is currently the preferred color.

Proof positive you are in deed the sharpest crayon in the box.
